I found the Koyo for $325.   It should arive to my house in this next week.
The best I have found the GTIR for is around $280.  I ruled the Modine out
because it is not as efficient as a all alluminum radiator.  I also
researched the Koyo and the Fluidyne and Griffin but for the money the Koyo
was the best buy at that price.  It ouw have cost much more to get a
fluidyne or similiar in my car and the oem fans would have been a chore to
install.

Just because it is thicker then the GTIR does not make it better.  Its
construction does limits its efficiancy a bit.  This link explains it pretty
clearly.
